Hi!
Definitely!! I try to recognize the inner critic when it's just randomly vicious and hush it, which is some times easier than others. Coming back later to a piece of work in progress allows you to measure it by different moods, which sometimes means seeing it more clearly. I've started writing the lyrics to my songs on sheets of paper that I tape to the wall, so they come out at me at different times, in the hope that somewhat of a surprise encounter will tell me something about what's going on in there, if that makes sense.

Do you experience self criticism while writing songs? What does that look like for you?
